Fuel filtration for marine applications

The Racor division of Parker Hannifin Corp has developed FBO-10-MA and FBO-14-MA, a range of high-flow fuel filtration systems designed for for marine applications.

The filter assemblies are designed to meet the toughest refueling conditions and provide for tool-less filter change-outs. They can handle flow rates from 18-50 GPM depending on the elements specified and the fuel being filtered. Filtration efficiency can be tailored via various available elements, an element change-out differential pressure gauge, and a water-in-fuel sight plug for ease of service.

"This year, due to new diesel engine technologies such as common rail fuel injection, we have seen increased demand for high flow and high performance marine filtration solutions that have required aviation filtration quality," says Jake Pendley, Racor hydrocarbon filtration product manager.

The assemblies have received Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listing for marine vessel or fuel dispensing applications.
